Alexander Bronfer lives in Israel, where he fell in love with the Dead Sea and its surrounding desert. This book brings an eight-year project to a close, drawing attention to the ecological catastrophe unfolding in the Dead Sea Valley through human negligence and irresponsibility. Bronfer sees in “his” Dead Sea an echo of the Zone in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker: a landscape riddled with hidden traps, where reality itself turns fluid. He is drawn above all to the horizon, which runs through the book as an unbroken line set just above the centre of the frame.
